Way cool re: Alliance. Much less $ than a Trojan SCS150
http://www.trojanbattery.com/Products/SCS15012V.aspx

I'll google "double break relay". Would a "can" type solenoid isolator
suffice instead? They were on sale at Princess Auto.    ;^)
I will fuse charge line and load line to fridge.

The existing driver side aux. battery solenoid "can" type isolator is
actuated by the alternator blue wire (D+)

Easy to measure the "can" isolator current draw, but blue wire gauge
aside, will the (presumably) higher current demands of 2 "can" type
battery isolators etc. adversely affect the alternator regulator?

Thanks

Neil.
